No matter how lazy Satan makes you feel, read this booklet

completely. �� , you will feel a Madani transformation

in your heart.

Marvellous Madani girl

Sayyiduna Shaykh Muhammad Bin Sulayman Jazuli �� & �' � � �(� �) �� *�+

has stated: I was on a journey. The time of Salah commenced at

some place. There was a well but there was no rope and bucket

over there. I was becoming anxious. Meanwhile, a Madani girl

peeped from the top of a house and asked, ‘What are you looking

for?’ I replied, ‘A bucket and some rope.’ She asked, ‘What’s your

name?’ I answered, ‘Muhammad Bin Sulayman Jazuli.’ She

exclaimed, ‘Oh, so it is you who is very famous! But your

condition is such that you can’t even take out water from a well.’

* This speech was delivered by Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat �#��$� �! �" � �, � � �� in the 3-day

Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ (congregation) of Dawat-e-Islami, held in Karachi at

Sindh level (1420 AH). It is being presented in black and white with some

amendments – Maktaba-tul-Madinah.

Saying that, she spat into the well. As soon as she did that, the

water rose up and overflowed. Sayyiduna Shaykh Muhammad

Bin Sulayman Jazuli �� & �' � � �(� �) �� *�+ performed Wudu and then

asked the marvellous girl, ‘Daughter! Tell me truthfully as to

how you achieved this marvel?’ She replied, ‘I recite Salat-‘Alan-

Nabi and, by virtue of it, this marvel has taken place.’ He

�� - .*�� /� �)� �0 �' further said, ‘Impressed by that pious girl, I made

a firm intention to write a book about Salat-‘Alan-Nabi.’

(Sa’adat-ud-Darayn, pp. 159) Therefore, he �� - .*�� /� �)� �0�' wrote a book about Salat-‘Alan-Nabi which achieved great popularity.

Recently, we solemnized the commemoration of the great

martyrs of Karbala. I will now narrate you a sorrowful incident

of a Husayni groom. Sadr-ul-Afadil, ‘Allamah Maulana Sayyid

Muhammad Na’eemuddin Muradabadi �� 0�' � � �� )� � ��1�$�� has quoted

in his book ‘Sawanih-e-Karbala’:

Husayni groom

Sayyiduna Wahb Ibn ‘Abdullah Kalbi � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' was a well-mannered and handsome young man from the tribe of Bani

Kalb. He � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' was passing the pleasant days of his life happily. Just 17 days after his marriage, his mother ��2�� .*�� /� � �3�' who was a widow and whose only asset was her son, came to

him and started crying. Sayyiduna Wahb � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' asked his


Husayni Groom

mother in astonishment, ‘Dear mother! Why are you crying?

I don’t remember any moment in my life when I have ever

disobeyed you and I cannot do so in the future. It is obligatory

for me to obey your orders and �� I will remain

obedient to you until the end of my life. Dear mother! What

caused grief to your heart and what made you weep? My dear

mother! I am prepared to sacrifice even my life on your order.

Please don’t be sad.’

Listening to that, his mother started crying even more bitterly

and said, ‘O my beloved son! You are the refulgence of my

eyes, you are the peace of my heart and you are the only flower

in my garden. I have brought you up facing severe hardships;

I cannot remain away from you even for a single moment.

My dear son! I suckled you in your infancy. Today, the grandson

of the Holy Prophet �� 4�� . � �� - .*�� /� ��6 �7, the beloved of Sayyiduna ‘Ali �� 8 �� 9 � �� .*�� : � � �;� �� , the dearest son of Sayyidatuna Fatimah

��2�� .*�� /� � �3�' is being brutally oppressed on the plains of Karbala. My beloved son! Is it possible for you to sacrifice your life at the

feet of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn? How shameless it would be if

we remained alive but the Holy Prophet’s beloved grandson is

mercilessly martyred! If you still remember my affection for you,

if you have not forgotten the hardships that I bore bringing you

up, then my dear son, sacrifice yourself for Sayyiduna Imam

Husayn .*�� /� � �3�' � �2�� .’ The Husayni groom Sayyiduna Wahb

� �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' humbly replied, ‘My dear mother! It will be my

good fortune if I succeed in sacrificing my life for Sayyiduna


Husayni Groom

Imam Husayn � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' and I am whole-heartedly prepared

to do so. I just want to meet that woman for a short while who

has given up everything in this world for me and does not look

at any other man except me. I am a little concerned about her

hopes and desires. If she wishes, I will permit her to spend her

life as she likes.’

The mother said, ‘My dear son! Women are usually unwise; if

your intention changed because of her dissuasion you might

lose this eternal privilege.’ The Husayni groom Sayyiduna

Wahb .*�� /� � �3�' � �2�� said, ‘My dear mother! The knot of the love

of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' is so firmly tied into my

heart that no one can undo it and no one can shatter my

determination of sacrificing my life for him.’

Having said that, he � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' went to his wife and said, ‘The grandson of the Greatest Prophet �� 4�� . �� - .*�� /� ��6 �7, the son of Fatimah ��2�� .*�� /� � �3�', the blooming flower of the garden of

Sayyiduna ‘Ali �8 �� 9 �� .*�� : � � �;� �� is in extreme trouble in the

plains of Karbala. Traitors have trapped him; I desire to sacrifice

my life for him.’ Listening to that, his bride took a deep sigh

from her heart and said, ‘O crown of my head! Alas! I can’t

participate in this battle with you. Shari’ah has not allowed

women to go to the battlefield in order to fight. Unfortunately,

I am deprived of this blessing and I can’t sacrifice my life for

Sayyiduna Imam Husayn � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�'. �� <� .=�>� �4� �� ! You have

made the intention of going to the Heavenly Garden where

Heavenly Hoors will be waiting to serve you. Just do one thing

for me. When you go to the Heaven, take me with you where

you will be served along with the family-members of the Holy

Prophet �� 4�� . � �� - .*�� /� ��6 �7 by Heavenly Hoors.’

The Husayni groom �/� � �3�' � �2�� .*�� reached the court of Sayyiduna

Imam Husayn �� 3�'� � �� 2�� .*�� along with his pious wife and

venerable mother. The bride said, ‘O beloved son of the Holy

Prophet! As soon as a martyr falls from his horse, he reaches

the lap of heavenly Hoors and the heavenly servants serve him

very devotedly. He1 wishes to sacrifice himself for you and I am

extremely helpless; I have no other relatives; there is no one

else to take care of me. I just have one wish – I aspire not to be

separated from him (her husband) on the Day of Judgement!

In this world, I wish to serve the ladies of your family �3�' �� .*� �� 2 � �� <

as one of your slave girls.’

All these promises were made in the presence of Sayyiduna

Imam Husayn � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' and Sayyiduna Wahb � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' also said, ‘O Imam Husayn ( � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�')! If I am blessed with the

Heaven by virtue of the intercession of the Beloved Prophet

�� 6 �7� � �� .*�� . � �� 4�� , I will make the request, ‘Ya Rasoolallah

(�� 4�� . � �� - .*�� /� ��6 �7)! Let this loyal woman live with me.’ Having

said that, Sayyiduna Wahb � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' sought permission from

Sayyiduna Imam Husayn �� 3�'� � �� 2�� .*�� and went towards the

battlefield. The enemy-troops trembled fearfully seeing that a

rider whose face is as bright as the moon is advancing towards

them with a spear in his hand and a shield on his shoulder

reciting the following couplets in a thunderous voice:

مي مي ا

Translation: Imam Husayn ( � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�') is the leader and he is a good leader. His brilliance is like a bright lamp.

Sayyiduna Wahb �� 3�'� � �� 2�� .*�� reached the battlefield like a

thunder-bolt, demonstrated his expertise in horsemanship and

swordsmanship and challenged the enemies to a fight. Whoever

dared to take up his challenge was beheaded. A number of heads

of arrogant enemies piled up around him. The blood-stained

bodies of the enemies were writhing on the ground. After a

while he � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' changed the direction of his horse, came to

his mother and said, ‘My dear mother! Are you pleased with

me now?’ Then, he � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' went to his weeping bride and advised her to have patience. Meanwhile, a voice was heard from

the battlefield calling out ‘ بارز ل من ه ? م* ’ Is there anyone to fight?

Sayyiduna Wahb � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' mounted his horse and headed

towards the battlefield. The new bride is watching her husband

leave as tears fall from her eyes. In no time, the Husayni Groom

reached the battlefield like a vehement lion with his sword and

spear. The combatant was a brave and famous warrior and expert

rider Hakam Bin Tufayl. He leapt off his horse in arrogance.

With one attack, Sayyiduna Wahb � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' lifted him with


Husayni Groom

his spear and threw him onto the ground smashing his bones.

There was uproar in both the armies and the enemy lost the

courage to fight. Sayyiduna Wahb � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' rode straight into the heart of the enemies. Whoever dared to fight against him

lost his life. He .*�� /� � �3�' � �2�� kept fighting and killing enemies

bravely until his spear broke into pieces. Then, he � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�' took his sword out of the scabbard and beheaded enemies.

Fed up with this one to one fight, the enemy leader ‘Amr Bin

Sa’d ordered his soldiers to surround the young man and attack

him jointly from all around. Carrying out that order the enemies

attacked at once. Sayyiduna Wahb � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�', seriously injured by that cowardly attack, fell to the ground and the black hearted

enemy cut his blessed head and threw it towards the army of

Sayyiduna Imam Husayn � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�'. Picking up the head of her brave son the mother of Sayyiduna Wahb rubbed it on her

face and said, ‘O son! My brave son! Your mother is now pleased

with you.’ The mother then put the head into the lap of the bride

of the martyred Husayni groom. As the head was placed in her

lap, her soul left her body and joined her Husayni groom.

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you see how great boons devotion

to Ahl-e-Bayt ( �� 3�'� � �� 2�� .*�� ) and enthusiasm for martyrdom

are! A new groom who had got married just 17 days back

fought against the enemy-troops alone in the battlefield and

became deserving of the Paradise by drinking the beverage of

martyrdom. May millions of Salam be to the mother and wife

of the Husayni groom as well! Look how courageously and

bravely the mother and the wife saw the Husayni groom being

martyred at the feet of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn � �2�� .*�� /� � �3�'. May Allah �� bless our mothers and sisters with some part

of this enthusiasm of such great and courageous ladies of Islam

so that they also bring up their offspring in conformity with

Sunnah, have them make sacrifices for Islam and travel with

the Madani Qafilahs of Dawat-e-Islami in the company of the

devotees of Rasool.

Three brave brothers

‘Allamah Abul Faraj ‘Abdur Rahman Bin Jawzi �� & �' � � �� ( �) �� 1�+��@�

has narrated the following parable in ‘Uyoon-ul-Hikayaat: There


Husayni Groom

were three horsemen, [they were] young and brave Syrian

Muslim brothers who joined the Islamic army to participate in

Jihad. They would travel separately, not with the Islamic army

and would not attack unless the enemies attacked.

Once, a huge Roman (Christian) army invaded the Muslims.

Many Muslims were martyred and a number of others were

taken away as prisoners. The three brothers said to each other,

‘Our Muslim brothers are facing great trouble; it is obligatory

for us to leap into war without caring for our lives.’ Therefore,

they joined the remaining Muslims and said to them, ‘Let us

three brothers fight on the front; you are to fight remaining

behind us. If Allah �� wills, we will be enough for you.’ Having

said that, the three brothers invaded the Roman army so fiercely

that the enemies had to retreat. The Roman king (who was

observing the bravery of the three brothers) said to one of his

generals, ‘I will designate the one, arresting any one of those

three young men, as the commander-in-chief.’ Listening to

that announcement, the Roman army fought so vigorously that

they captured the three brothers alive without injuring them.

The overjoyed Roman king remarked, ‘There is no greater

conquest and booty than these three young men.’ Having arrested

them, the king ordered his army to return to his capital along

with the three brothers.

Having reached his country, the king called them and said, ‘If

you embrace Christianity, I will not only marry my daughters

to you but also bestow kingship upon you in the future.’


Husayni Groom

10

Remaining steadfast in their faith, the three brothers rejected

the king’s offer and invoked the Holy Prophet .*�� /� ��6 �7 � �. � �� - �� 4��

for help. The king asked his courtiers as to what the brothers

were saying. The courtiers replied, ‘They are invoking their

Prophet for help.’ The king said to those three brothers, ‘If you

don’t agree to what I say, I will get three large cauldrons full of

heated oil and get each of you thrown into them.’ He then

ordered that three cauldrons full of oil be brought and heated

for three days. Each day, the three brothers were brought near

the boiling and burning cauldrons where the king would try to

force them into embracing Christianity, giving them the temptation

of rule and marriage with princesses but they refused his offer

every time, remaining steadfast in their faith.

After three days, the king called the oldest brother and repeated

the same demand but he refused. The king threatened him to

be thrown into the boiling oil but he still refused. In anger, the

king ordered him to be thrown into the oil. As soon as he was

thrown into the boiling oil, his flesh and skin burnt off and his

bones rose to the surface. The king did the same to the second

brother and got him thrown into the boiling oil. When the king

saw the steadfastness of these brothers even in such a difficult

time, he said inwardly in shame, ‘I have never seen anyone braver

than these Muslims. What have I done to them?’ After that, he

called the youngest brother and tried to make him deviate from

Islam but he didn’t fall into the trap of the king. Meanwhile, a

courtier said, ‘O king! If I entrap him, what reward will I get?’


Husayni Groom

11

The king replied, ‘I will make you the commander-in-chief of

my army.’ That courtier agreed. The king asked, ‘How will you

entrap him?’ He replied, ‘O king! You know that the people of

Arabia are highly interested in women and nearly every Roman

knows that my so and so daughter is the most beautiful girl in

the whole of Rome. Hand over this young man to me; I will

make him meet my daughter in loneliness; she will succeed in

enticing him by the charm of her beauty.’ Giving him the grace

of forty days the king handed the young man over to him.

That courtier took the young man to his home and told his

daughter the whole situation. The girl expressed her willingness

to act as her father said. The young man started living with the

girl in such a way that he would fast during the day and offer

Nafl Salah during the night. As the grace was coming to an

end, the king asked his courtier as to how far he had succeeded

in his plan. The courtier came to his home and asked his daughter;

she remarked that she had not succeeded in entrapping the

young man as he did not show any interest in her. Perhaps, she

explained to her father, its reason was that his two brothers

were brutally killed in that city in front of him. Therefore, she

suggested her father ask the king to extend the deadline of

grace and allow both of them to go to another city. The father

went and told the situation to the king. The king extended the

grace and allowed the girl and the young man to be taken to

another city.


Husayni Groom

12

The young man kept the same routine in the other city as well;

he fasted during the day and remained busy with worship

during the night. When only three days were left in the

termination of grace, the girl went to the young man and said

spontaneously, ‘I want to embrace your religion’ and she became

a Muslim in that way. Then they made a plan to escape. The

girl brought two horses from the stable and they both headed

towards the Islamic empire.

One night, they heard the sound of horses behind them. The girl

suspected them to be the Christian soldiers. The girl said to the

young man, ‘Pray to your Creator ( �� ) Who I have believed

in so that He saves us from our enemies.’ When the young man

turned around he was astonished to see that his two brothers,

who had been martyred, were riding horses along with a group

of angels. The young man said Salam to them and inquired

after them. They both said, ‘With one dive we entered Jannat-

ul-Firdaus and Allah �� has sent us to you.’

After saying that, they went back. Along with the girl, the young

man reached Syria where he married her and they started living

over there. This parable of the three brothers became very famous

in Syria and hymns were written for them. One verse from a

hymn is as follows:

ادقي ا بفضل صدق سيعطي الص� ف ة ن

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you see how greatly the three brothers

demonstrated steadfastness in their Iman which was deeply

rooted in their heart! They were not from the people who only

make exaggerated claims of passionate love, in fact, they were

sincere devotees of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet. The two

brothers were deserving of the eternal Heavenly favours by

drinking the beverage of martyrdom whereas the third one did

not even look at the most beautiful girl in Rome. Instead, he

remained occupied in Divine worship day and night. In that

way, the huntress was herself hunted. We also learnt from this

parable that invoking the Prophet of Rahmah � �. � �� - .*�� /� ��6 �7 �� 4��

for help and calling ‘Ya Rasoolallah’ in difficulty has been the

long-standing practice of the Muslims of the ancient past.

Ya Rasoolallah kay na’ray say ham ko piyar hay

Jis nay yeh na’rah lagaya us ka bayra paar hay

We love the slogan Ya Rasoolallah

Whoever chants this slogan, will succeed


Husayni Groom

Turned down the worldly comforts

How great and meritorious that young Syrian man’s ambition,

determination and steadfastness in faith was! Ponder for a

moment! His two beloved brothers were martyred in front of

him, but his determination did not relent at all. Neither threats

frightened him nor did the hardships of detention affect his

overwhelming determination. The black clouds of troubles

could not fade the refulgent sun of his ambition. The storm of

difficulties could not even shake the rock of his steadfastness. The

devotee of Allah and Beloved Mustafa did not care at all about

the worldly troubles; rather, he whole-heartedly welcomed each

and every trouble befalling him in the path of Allah �� . Further, the temptations of wealth and beauty of the world could not

make him deviate from his determination and he turned down

every sort of worldly comfort for the sake of Islam. At last,

Allah �� created means of his release; that Roman girl

embraced Islam and they both got married with each other.

Dear Islamic brothers! If you are also aspirant to success in the

world as well as in the Hereafter, make it your routine to travel

with the Madani Qafilahs along with Prophet’s devotees for

learning Sunnah, fill in Madani In’amaat booklet practicing

Fikr-e-Madinah daily and submit it to the relevant representative

of Dawat-e-Islami of your area on the first day of each Madani

(Hijri) month.
